Why was it that when I met Aizen before, I always felt that he was quite weak, and fighting him wasn't fun? I never invited him to fight.

Tokoyo Misao smiled and said, "That's right, Captain Komamura is more qualified to say on this point, isn't he?"

Sajin Komamura no longer used his helmet to conceal his beast-head appearance.

His head, resembling that of an Akita dog, did not surprise anyone, not even Orihime Inoue.

Since this is the Soul Society, there are the souls of animals after they die, so there's nothing strange about it.

Sajin Komamura was not angered by Tokoyo Misao's words.

His ears twitched twice, and he said to Kenpachi Zaraki very seriously, "Aizen is very strong."

Hearing this, Kenpachi Zaraki opened his mouth, wanting to laugh out loud, but the movement aggravated the wound in his chest, causing blood to seep out. However, he didn't care and continued to shout, "Leave that guy to me!"

Soi Fon chimed in from the side, "Your injuries are from your duel with Tokoyo Misao in the Valley of Screams Space. Even he couldn't say he was 100% certain of defeating Aizen. Do you think you can beat him?"

Kenpachi Zaraki glanced at her sideways and snorted, "Shut up, flat-chested woman."

"What! You think I won't kill you right now? What's so great about big breasts? They'll only be an obstacle!"

"Only someone with my physique can achieve unparalleled speed!" Soi Fon roared, her neck stiff.

It was somewhat unexpected that Soi Fon Tokoyo Misao be so vulnerable because of her body shape.

He always assumed the other person was the type who didn't care.

His mind raced, and he immediately said, "I remember the title 'Flash Goddess' belongs to Yoruichi Shihōin, right? She's no ordinary person, and her speed isn't necessarily slow."

Upon hearing the name Yoruichi, Soi Fon completely lost her composure, pointing at Tokoyo Misao, "Let's go to the Muken and have a fight! Today, it's either you or me!"

"Huh? What's going on? Doesn't that lady like Master? Why does she suddenly want to duel with Master?" Orihime Inoue's big eyes revealed confusion.

Last time at the secret base, this captain named Soi Fon clearly had feelings for her master. Why is she suddenly shouting for war again?

Uryū Ishida raised his right index finger to support his glasses, adopting a wise demeanor as he spoke, "Inoue, you've probably seen this in many manga; it's called tsundere!"

That captain is being hypocritical; he can't express his true feelings and is just putting on a brave face.

"I see!" Orihime Inoue nodded in understanding.

Ichigo Kurosaki turned around and said, "Ishida, you know so much!"

The conversation wasn't quiet, but even if it were, it wouldn't have mattered, as the captains of the Gotei 13, the strongest fighting force present, could certainly hear it.

For a moment, not to mention the other veteran captains, even Kenpachi Zaraki, that beast, looked at Soi Fon with a strange gaze, and he chuckled:

"What's going on? So that's what happened! If you like Tokoyo Misao, then just go for it."

"Damn it! Who likes him?" Soi Fon retorted sharply.

But at this moment, her flustered appearance, angry tone, and slightly flushed cheeks made her seem to anyone else as if she were being coy and annoyed at having her thoughts exposed.

Tokoyo Misao then looked as if he had just realized something, and murmured to himself:

"I knew Soi Fon was always targeting me; turns out she's got a crush on me. Only an elementary school kid would trip up someone they like, but it's actually kind of cute."

"I'm going to kill you!" Soi Fon couldn't take it anymore, drew her Zanpakuto, and charged forward, ready to fight to the death.

"Captain Soi Fon, please calm down. We can talk about everything after the meeting." Unohana suddenly appeared beside Soi Fon and reached out to press her down.

She leaned close to Soi Fon's ear and whispered, "The bigger picture is what matters. After the meeting, go straight to the Muken Battle. I'll be a witness."

Soi Fon gasped for breath, her chest heaving, and finally recovered after a moment.

Given the current situation, there shouldn't have been any conflict between the captains. Even if Soi Fon had wanted to engage in Muken battle with Tokoyo Misao, Captain-Commander Yamamoto would probably have stopped her.

After all, Soul Society is currently in a state of emergency, and there is not much time left to deal with Aizen's attack; there are too many things to do.

As the Second Division Captain, Soi Fon certainly couldn't afford to get injured.

But now, with Captain Unohana's witness and help, this Muken should be successful.

Soi Fon gritted her teeth, returned to her position, and immediately closed her eyes.

However, she didn't notice the strange glint in Unohana's eyes as she looked at her.

For Unohana, the battle Muken Tokoyo Misao has a different meaning.

This is an unspoken understanding among adults.

Seeing this, Orihime Inoue whispered, "Tsundere is terrifying."

Although she admitted that she couldn't express some of her thoughts, she wouldn't show hostility towards someone she liked like that; there was no benefit in doing so.

Ichigo Kurosaki nodded as well.

"Alright, alright, that's enough of the farce. Let's get back to discussing how to deal with Aizen." Tokoyo Misao brought the topic back on track.

He rolled up the cuffs of his white haori, revealing his blood-red arm, and displayed it:

"I'm sure you're all very curious about why my hand can break through the Negación and possesses such great strength, right?"

"Indeed, it would be great if Captain Tokoyo were willing to explain," Shunsui Kyōraku quickly said.

Strength is everyone's trump card.

Even among the Gotei 13, the captains would not casually reveal their trump cards to others.

For example, Shunsui Kyōraku's own Bankai that none of the other captains, except for Jūshirō Ukitake and Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, had ever seen, and they didn't even know the name of his Bankai.

It is a long-standing, unspoken rule that one should not inquire about the strength or resources of others.

So when they heard Tokoyo Misao was about to explain the power of that blood-red arm, many captains looked surprised, and even Mayuri Kurotsuchi's eyes widened.

"Actually, Kenpachi Zaraki really might be able to kill Aizen, because the power source of my arm is him," Tokoyo Misao said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Kenpachi Zaraki was completely bewildered. "When did I acquire such power?"

If he possessed such power, he would have used it back in the Valley of Screams Space to comfortably fight against Tokoyo Misao.

He didn't know that he had actually used it while unconscious, but it wasn't complete.

It was only after observing this state that Tokoyo Misao began to integrate all his power into his body.

In fact, Tokoyo Misao had some ideas about this after studying it for some time.

He believed that Kenpachi Zaraki might have come from Hell.

There are several arguments, the most obvious being that Kenpachi Zaraki is too strong.

This is neither sarcasm nor high praise, whether it be Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto or Sōsuke Aizen.

They weren't exceptionally strong when they were young; it was through long-term training and study that they reached the limits of Soul Reaper.

However, Kenpachi Zaraki was different; he was incredibly strong as soon as he arrived in Rukongai.

Even as a child, she was able to defeat and even kill Unohana.

Considering only from this perspective, it can only mean that Kenpachi Zaraki is a naturally powerful individual.

However, Tokoyo Misao were combined with his own experiences.

When he came to Soul Society from that place Valley of Screams Space, he went through the process of having his body reconstructed by the Soul Society's Reishi.

After the reconstruction, he also felt that he could use the power of Eternal Eyes to reach the limit of the Soul Reaper at any time.

Is it possible that Kenpachi Zaraki wasn't born from the death of humans in the World of the Living world or the birth of the Seireitei, but rather came from Hell through some unknown means, and then had his body reconstructed by Reishi Soul Society, just like Kenpachi's?

Of course, this is only circumstantial evidence.

The most direct evidence is the power Kenpachi Zaraki gained after his body turned red.

Tokoyo Misao knew that this was actually the form of Kenpachi Zaraki after his Bankai, but under his full-power Eternal Eyes, he discovered that the power contained in this blood-red, demon-like form did not belong to the Three Worlds at all.

This is the direct evidence.

As for why Tokoyo Misao, with only the power of the Three Worlds, could still succeed.

That's because when he was in the Valley of Screams Space, he had scraped a lot of flesh and blood off Kenpachi Zaraki and spent some time fusing it together.

The meeting room remained silent for a long time.

Chōjirō Sasakibe immediately thought of Yachiru Kusajishi, whom he had fought with in the First Division that day.

Its shape looks very similar to Tokoyo Misao's blood-red right arm.

His trembling pupils looked towards Captain-Commander Yamamoto.

"Kenpachi Zaraki has not yet mastered that power," Captain-Commander Yamamoto said solemnly.

However, his words also indicate that he agrees with the idea of Tokoyo Misao.

"Even if Kenpachi Zaraki possesses such great power, he must have been affected by Kyōka Suigetsu, right? He can't even find where the enemy is, so how can he fight?" Mayuri Kurotsuchi grinned, pointing out the flaw in Kenpachi Zaraki's fight against Aizen.

He continued, "If we're talking about pure strength, Captain-Commander Yamamoto could kill Aizen, but if he's hit by Kyōka Suigetsu, it'll be meaningless."

Captain-Commander Yamamoto, however, surprisingly retorted, "No, Kenpachi Zaraki possesses something I don't."

"That's right," Tokoyo Misao said with a smile, "Kenpachi Zaraki possesses instincts; his battle-driven instincts allow him to locate the enemy."

At this point, Tokoyo Misao believes this is another piece of evidence that Kenpachi Zaraki comes from Hell.

Whether human or a soul born in Seireitei, their instincts are no different—survival, reproduction, fear, and so on.

Even in battle, it's never about simply enjoying the thrill of combat.

Kenpachi Zaraki, however, was different. His instinct for battle overwhelmed everything, and he didn't even have the fear of death.

This is simply unbelievable for a human.

But if he's a demon from Hell, then everything makes sense.

"Ha! No need for all that nonsense, just leave Aizen to me!" Although Kenpachi Zaraki Aizen bandaged, he exuded a fierce fighting spirit.

"You're not ready right now." Unohana shook her head.

Although Kenpachi Zaraki has almost recovered to the strength he had when he first met Unohana after several battles with Tokoyo Misao, he has not yet pieced his soul back together and remains in a fragmented state.

Defeating Aizen with his crippled body is simply impossible.

Unohana looked up at Tokoyo Misao and asked, "Do you have a way?"

"If Captain Tokoyo has a solution, that would be great." Shunsui Kyōraku also looked over.

Even Captain-Commander Yamamoto's eyes were now fixed on Tokoyo Misao.

Kenpachi Zaraki was still wondering, "Wasn't it agreed that I was supposed to fight Aizen?"

It all depends on what Tokoyo Misao.

Tokoyo Misao smiled and said, "It's very simple. For the next period of time, Kenpachi Zaraki and I will live in Muken until he has fully learned how to actively use this power."

Of course, this requires Captain Unohana's assistance.

Unohana smiled and nodded, "No problem."

"A fight? No problem, let's go now!" Kenpachi Zaraki was even more excited when he heard that he could fight, and he strode out of the conference room.

"Stop!" Captain-Commander Yamamoto shouted, "Kenpachi Zaraki alone isn't enough!"

At this moment, Kisuke Urahara suddenly spoke up, "Ichigo Kurosaki and Orihime Inoue also possess power comparable to Aizen's. However, it's a pity that Orihime has already been affected by Kyōka Suigetsu."

Everyone already knew that Orihime had been tricked by Aizen into helping him accelerate the restoration of the Hōgyoku.

Of course, no one blamed him, after all, so many old monsters in Soul Society had been deceived by Aizen for hundreds of years.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, are you willing to accept my guidance?" Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai voice.

"Old Man Yamamoto, are you better than Boss Misao?"

Chapter 165 Soi Fon Wants to Watch the Battle

"Ichigo Kurosaki, your words are extremely disrespectful to Genryūsai!" Chōjirō Sasakibe shouted, his emotions aggravating his wounds.

The pain contorted his face, making him grimace.

Ichigo Kurosaki frowned and said, "But if Old Man Yamamoto isn't as good as Boss Misao, then why should I learn from him?"

The words may be rough, but the principle is sound.

Since the goal is to learn from the strongest and improve oneself, one should naturally choose the strongest.

"Is that so? In your eyes, Captain Tokoyo is already the strongest in the world?" Captain-Commander Yamamoto asked.

These words immediately made Chōjirō Sasakibe, who was about to continue refuting, bow his head and fall silent.
